Would a centralized app for managing all aspects of pet care be helpful for pet owners? Seeking feedback!

: Hi everyone,

As a fellow pet lover, I’ve always struggled to keep track of my pets’ vet visits, medications, and health records—not to mention remembering their birthdays and finding trusted vets when traveling. So, I’m working on an app idea called Pet Hub, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Here’s what Pet Hub would offer: • Vet Locator: Find nearby vets and emergency clinics easily. • AI Vet Assistant: Get instant answers to common pet health questions. • Reminders: Never miss a medication, vaccination, or birthday. • Health Records: Store and manage vet records in one place. • Gifting & Deals: Explore curated pet gifts and special offers.

I’m currently validating the idea, and I’d love to know: • Would you find a tool like this helpful? • Are there any features you’d like to see added? • Would you sign up for early access to a free trial?

If this sounds interesting, I’ve created a landing page where you can sign up to learn more and get early access to the app once it’s ready.

Thank you so much for your time and feedback—it means the world to me as I work to make Pet Hub the ultimate tool for pet care!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Make someone randomly viral

How about an app where a random person is chosen each week to have their message seen by the other members of the app?

For example, the app starts off small but gains popularity over time. Before you know it thousands of people using the app get to see one lucky persons message each week. It could be a written message, or a youtube link or anything like that.

Before you know it, the app has millions of people all with a shot of having their message seen. The "message" would have to be pre written in case you win.

Thoughts?

got frustrated with airbnb fees - built a solution

I’ve grown increasingly frustrated with the extra fees on Airbnb. While it’s undeniably convenient, the service fees can quickly add up, often negating any savings.

I started wondering if there was a way to connect directly with property hosts and bypass the middleman altogether. That idea inspired me to create getaway.direct —a free Chrome extension that helps travelers save on bookings.

Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Browse Airbnb listings as usual.
2️⃣ The extension scans for direct booking links, host websites, or social media profiles where you can contact the host directly.
3️⃣ Results are displayed instantly, allowing you to compare prices, avoid fees, and book smarter.

The goal is simple: transparency. Many hosts already have their own websites but rely on Airbnb for exposure. This tool helps uncover those direct options, saving you 10-20% per booking on average.

I’d love to get your thoughts:

  • Would this be helpful for you?
  • Are there features or improvements you’d like to see?

It’s completely free, and I’m actively working to make it even better. Your feedback would be invaluable—whether it’s on usability, functionality, or anything else.

Thanks for taking the time to read, and I’d really appreciate hearing your honest input! 😊

Thinking of Building a Trading Journal App – What Do You Think?

Hey everyone!

I’m working on an idea for a trading journal app for all types of traders that’s simple, useful, and doesn’t cost a ton like most of the options out there. The goal is to make something that’s actually fun to use and helps traders stay on top of their game. Here’s the idea:

How It’s Unique:

1. Customizable Everything:

Most trading apps lock you into their layout or features, but with this one, you can add/remove fields, track the exact stuff YOU care about (strategies, notes, etc.), and make it work for your style.

  1. Emotion & Plan Tracking:

Not just numbers—track how you’re feeling during trades (e.g., calm, revengeful, FOMO) and see how well you stick to your trading plan. Spot emotional patterns and fix bad habits!

  1. Focus on Simplicity:

A lot of apps get way too complicated. This one will be clean, minimalist, and fun to use—like something Apple would design for traders.

  1. Gamification to Stay Motivated:

Track streaks for journaling daily or sticking to your plan. Earn fun badges for milestones (because who doesn’t love a little reward?).

  1. No Crazy Fees:

Free version gives you everything you need to start, while premium features like advanced analytics and cloud sync cost a small, reasonable fee.

What I’m Wondering:

  1. Would you use something like this?
  2. What features would you love to have in a trading app?
  3. What would you like premium options to include? AI integration to see what time is best, what currency is best, what I'm lacking on and what I'm good on, etc?
  4. If you’re already using a trading journal, what annoys you about it?

I want to make something that actually solves real problems for traders. Any ideas or feedback would mean the world to me. Let me know what you think, I’m all ears! 🚀

Thanks in advance! 😊

User research for app project (homework)

Hi everyone! I'm in a UI class where we've been tasked to create an app. My concept is based on measuring how crowded a business is prior to visiting. I need to do some user research, and would appreciate your responses! Thanks :)

https://forms.gle/BDqNREfqrZXEnns68

Disclaimer: I won't be making this a real app, it's just for a project.

Live event software

Hey!

This is a shot-in-the-dark post.

I have developed software for small scale live events (50 - 400 ppl, it is really lightweight for smaller teams). It is currently being used by 1 company producing live comedy shows. They have been using it for about a year and have come to rely on it. I have complete ownership of the code (I solo developed it + the IP is mine) and I am planning to spin it off as a product.

Currently the feature list looks like:

  1. Guest List managed list/database of guests, tracking their attendance, preferences, and interactions.
  2. Show & Ticket Management
  3. Post-Event Content Sharing gallery pages for post event photo sharing and email capture.
  4. * Merchandise: Create pages like tickets to sell merchandise
  5. Email Marketing & Campaigns, we have a twilio + postmark integration to send mass email to the guest list and open link tracking
  6. * Instagram Messaging Integration this is in dev

* currently in development

Screenshots (from Dev server):

Threw my email in the screenshot feel free to reach out!

I want to get feedback on features, gauge the need/interest for a tool like this for smaller companies... Currently I am working on setting up a test instance/playground

An app that gathers a list of Facebook reactions, posts and shares to create a random competition winner

I see Facebook/Reddit/ Twitter competitions all the time. It's a great way to sell your product but if a competition gains traction (which is what you want) then it can be hard to check manually for everyone that meets criteria you set. Even just copying and pasting 100 names would be tedious and you'll make mistakes.

I've just asked Chat GPT about this and while I could technically do this (I'm an Android developer), it's probably too complex complying with Facebook policies. It would also be hard to sell as most people that need it will only use it a couple of times.

Thoughts?

Exit strategy thoughts

I apologize if this is a rudimentary question, but how many of you try to fully develop your apps to own and collect from, vs trying to create an mvp to either collect funding, either from PE, Kickstarter, or somewhere else, or to outright sell?

Yet another work management app. Looking for feedbacks !

I have been working on a work management app for a few month, paperbit.io, and I am looking for some product feedbacks, in order to build a roadmap driven by real users pains.

The differentiator with all other existing solutions is the fact that I am able to adapt the product to some niche use cases, that wouldn't be tackled by some big players of the domain (notion, todoist and other monday). Basically, I am able to pivot into something a lot more specific, because I am not aiming for millions of users, only a few hundreds would be enough.

I am interested especially in
- Is the app easy to use ? If not, what's the main friction ?
- What are some missing features at this point ?
- Bonus: what can't you find on any other app of this kind, that would be nice to have on this one ?

How did you come up with your app idea, and what kept you motivated?

Coming up with app ideas is always tricky, but sticking with them through development can be even harder. I came up with my app idea after struggling to find a fitness tracker that really fit my needs. I figured if I was having trouble, others were too. What kept me going was the belief that others would benefit from it.

How did you guys come up with your app ideas? And how do you stay motivated, especially during the tough moments of development?

🚴‍♂️ Calling All Riders & Developers! My Vision for a Global Bike Riding Community Platform 🌍

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m working on an exciting project called “Veer Riders”—a platform designed to connect bike enthusiasts worldwide. Whether you're a new rider looking for guidance or an experienced biker seeking adventure partners, this app and website aim to create the ultimate global biking community.

🚀 Here’s the Idea:

  • Find & Join Rides: Users can discover groups, communities, or organized rides near them by paying a small fee (₹50 or equivalent).
  • Bring Your Own Bike: Unlike rental services, this platform focuses on connecting people who own bikes and want to ride together.
  • Support for Riders: We’ll offer amenities like bike repair assistance, mechanics, tire support, and refreshments on group rides.
  • Experience Levels: Riders can showcase their experience (new, intermediate, or expert), making it easy to find the right group.
  • Community Building: A futuristic, user-friendly app and web platform to bridge the gap between riders across skill levels and geographies.

🌟 Why I’m Here:

I believe this platform has the potential to revolutionize biking culture, but I need YOUR input to make it even better!

  • Are you a rider who would use this? What features would you love to see?
  • Are you a developer, designer, or entrepreneur with similar interests? Let’s collaborate!
  • Do you know of similar projects or communities we could learn from or partner with?

🌐 Join the Discussion:

I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or even criticisms. This project isn’t just for me—it’s for the global biking community.

If you’re interested in contributing or just staying updated, drop a comment or DM me! Let’s make this dream a reality together.

🤝 Let’s Build the Future of Riding Together!

New app idea

Im not making this and have no coding experience. But imagine an app that helps people struggling to find jobs by connecting them with tailored opportunities. If it lands them a job, the app takes 5% of their income for the first year. No upfront cost just a win win for everyone. Thoughts?

Food items nutrition information data set

Hi!

I have been planning to build an application for recording the nutrition for a user. A simple application which we pretty much have in appstore. This I am building initially from learning perspective but if I am able to build a good solution then I might think of commercializing this later.

I am trying to figure out if there are companies or organization that can provide a data set that I am able to host by myself like a one time purchase to get started.

I have come across different organizations that offer API based solution but I am interested more of a solution where I am able to retain the information.

Thanks

Help Us Shape Our New App! 🚀

Hi Redditors! We are currently working on an app and we need some help with the development. We are having difficulties with determining what kind of content would be preferred - so here we are - asking for Your help.

Briefly about the app: it’s purpose is to ask daily thought-provoking questions which encourage people to reflect.

We created a very short survey ( less than 2 minutes ) regarding example questions that would appear in the app. Link: https://forms.gle/eNbpjhtD6XqqHrus9

Your feedback will mean the world to us as we want to build something that is truly useful and the only way to move with the project is to gain valuable feedback.

Feel free to drop any questions or suggestions in the comment section! 

Thank You in advance for Your time and support!

Healt app idea

HI, I seek validation for my app idea.

An all-in-one health management app that securely stores your medical history, analyzes blood test trends with easy-to-read graphs, tracks hydration and fitness activity and sleep (connects to apple watch, garmin.. in later iterations), manages medication reminders, and provides alerts for regular checkups.
Also in later interations provides AI tips and overview of general health.

The app would be free with a subscription for detailed AI overview, tips... of 5$/monthly. Also would intoduce challenges like if you regulary exercise 3 days/week for 3 months one month would not be charged or water intake for month... Drinks all medications on time...

Would you use this app?
What additional features would you like to see?

Myb exporting data to doctors?
Myb a chat bot to ask about specific symptoms?
Check wich medications can not be taken in the same time? Or not suitable for the person?
Set weight goals?
Introduce calories and scanning food?

Tired of Fake Claims from Cappers? Here’s an Idea I’m Working On…

Hey Everyone,

Lately, I’ve been diving into the world of sports cappers, looking for solid picks for the night’s games. But every video I find seems to start with something like, “I’m 10 for 10 on my last parlays, and this one will retire your family!” 😅

It got me thinking—how do we actually know if these claims are real? I started searching for a platform that tracks cappers’ actual plays, even offering free picks from those who post on platforms like X or TikTok.

The closest thing I’ve found is DubClub, which looks clean, but it’s mostly paid and connects bettors with cappers’ Discords and similar setups. While it’s a step in the right direction, it feels like there’s room for something more transparent and accessible.

My Idea:

A platform that:

  1. Scrapes the Internet: Gathers parlays and picks shared publicly by cappers across X, TikTok, and other platforms.
  2. Tracks Performance: Automatically logs and analyzes their bets, giving bettors a clear history of each capper’s success (or failure).
  3. Creates Profiles: Each capper would have a profile showing their performance stats, helping users decide whether to follow them or not.
  4. Offers Free Picks: Highlights picks from public posts, alongside verified premium ones for those who want to pay.

It’s all about giving bettors the tools to make informed decisions instead of relying on flashy claims.

What Do You Think?

  • Would you use a platform like this?
  • What features would you want to see added?
  • Are there any similar apps I might have missed?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. If this idea resonates, I might even look into building it!

Let me know what you think—honest opinions are always welcome. 🙌

Property App

Bio: I am a product manager in fintech and have 2 properties in the UK, one of which I am currently selling. I think there is a lot of pride in owning a home but also a lot of unknowns. Every step in the journey from buying to owning to selling has a lot of obstacles.

Being a product manager in fintech, which is rich with apps, it surprises me that there is very limited popular apps with property industry. In the UK, where I'm from, the popular apps are aimed around finding a property - apps like Rightmove, Zoopla, Jitty. However there isn't anything that looks at the owning experience. I believe there is a huge hole for e2e property solutions which cure problems like maintenance, planning, guidance.

There are so many features which could be pulled together into one solution:

  1. Admin hub - store documents like Leasehold agreement
  2. Maintenance Tracker - understand when you are due for a boiler check
  3. financial dashboards - understand equity / mortgage payments / bills / usage
  4. future planning - Room planner, inspiration boards, budgeting tools, home memories/journal

I think there is huge opportunity in bringing together the app which is perfect for home owners and I believe it would be popular as your home is a huge identity and having tools support that and delight that experience will be great for users.

I need to build this out - I need developers and designers but also mentors to help me through this process as this is my first attempt at building an idea from scratch.

Will you use this B2B app?

I have been developing a software as a service application that assists businesses in generating leads through an AI-powered chatbot.

The chatbot is trained on business data and is capable of answering customer inquiries. Additionally, it collects user contact information, such as email addresses or phone numbers, for the purpose of providing further updates. This approach is more user-friendly compared to traditional methods of requesting user details through forms.

The application features a comprehensive dashboard that allows businesses to monitor chats and access various statistics. Furthermore, businesses have the option to seamlessly transition from AI-powered chat to real-time chat whenever they choose.

The generated leads can be utilized for marketing campaigns and bulk email sending, all within the application.

No you can't have my email

Shop without giving away email.

Does it bother you when stores ask for email because you know you will receive marketing emails? I am building something so you can shop without sharing email. All your cards, history, reward points, offers, and order tracking in one place and no more marketing emails, rather a better surfing UI to check your offers. Would this be something you will use or this is a dead end?

Simple twitter-style blogging platform?

I was thinking about building a simple "blogging" platform thats more like a personal Twitter than a traditional blog. You get your own page like example.com/dasbeasto (you could also point your own domain to it) which displays a single feed of posts with a similar UI to a Twitter feed. Posting would be super easy, just like tweeting, and people could follow your page to get notified of new posts. The obvious difference from Twitter is it's your page and your content (i.e. it doesn't have links out to other peoples pages or the global social network style UI). It’s like having a blog, but focused on short-form content like social posts instead of long articles for people who want a dedicated place to share their thoughts but aren't writers.
